Let $2\le k\le d-1$ and let $P$ and $Q$ be two convex polytopes in ${\mathbb E^d}$. Assume that their projections, $P|H$, $Q|H$, onto every $k$-dimensional subspace $H$, are congruent. In this paper we show that $P$ and $Q$ or $P$ and $-Q$…

We use the ordinary Euler operator to compute the Ehrhart series for an arbitrary lattice polytope. The resulting formula involves the coefficients of the Ehrhart polynomial, combined via Eulerian numbers. We use this to compute $h^*_{d-1}$…

The aim of this article is to show that the transpose-dual pairs in the sense of Ebeling-Ploog of singularities $(Z_{1,0},\, Z_{1,0})$, $(U_{1,0},\, U_{1,0})$, $(Q_{17},\, Z_{2,0})$, $(W_{1,0},\, W_{1,0})$ that are concluded to be…

We show that the following classes of lattice polytopes have unimodular covers, in dimension three: the class of parallelepipeds, the class of centrally symmetric polytopes, and the class of Cayley sums $\text{Cay}(P,Q)$ where the normal…

We give a combinatorial formula for the Ehrhart coefficients of a certain class of weighted multi-hypersimplices. In a special case, where these polytopes coincide with the base polytope of the panhandle matroid $\textrm{Pan}_{k,n-2,n}$, we…

A split of a polytope $P$ is a (regular) subdivision with exactly two maximal cells. It turns out that each weight function on the vertices of $P$ admits a unique decomposition as a linear combination of weight functions corresponding to…

We show that every $PD_3$-complex $P$ bounds a $PD_4$-pair $(Z,P)$. If $P$ is orientable we may assume that $\pi_1(Z)=1$. We show also that if $P$ has a manifold 1-skeleton then it is homotopy equivalent to a closed 3-manifold, and that if…

We generalize Ehrhart's idea of counting lattice points in dilated rational polytopes: Given a rational simplex, that is, an n-dimensional polytope with n+1 rational vertices, we use its description as the intersection of n+1 halfspaces,…

We propose a way to derive polynomial invariants of closed, orientable $3$-manifolds from Heegaard diagrams via cellularly embedded graphs. Given a Heegaard diagram of an irreducible $3$-manifold $M$, we associate a Heegaard graph $G\subset…

A lattice polytope $\mathcal{P}$ is called reflexive if its dual $\mathcal{P}^\vee$ is a lattice polytope. The property that $\mathcal{P}$ is unimodularly equivalent to $\mathcal{P}^\vee$ does not hold in general, and in fact there are few…

In this paper, we show that for each $n\geq 1$, the generalised Hermite-Laguerre Polynomials $G_{\frac{1}{4}}$ and $G_{\frac{3}{4}}$ are either irreducible or linear polynomial times an irreducible polynomial of degree $n-1$.

For $n\in\mathbb{N}$ and $\ell\in\{0,1,\dots,n\}$, we consider the function extracting the $\ell$th coefficient of the Ehrhart polynomials of lattice polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^n$. These functions form a basis of the space of unimodular…

The notion of Ehrhart tensor polynomials, a natural generalization of the Ehrhart polynomial of a lattice polytope, was recently introduced by Ludwig and Silverstein. We initiate a study of their coefficients. In the vector and matrix…

In this paper we investigate the number of integer points lying in dilations of lattice path matroid polytopes. We give a characterization of such points as polygonal paths in the diagram of the lattice path matroid. Furthermore, we prove…

In this paper we strengthen a result due to Li by showing that the third bi-power of a locally finite connected bipartite graph that admits a perfect matching is Hamilton-laceable, i.e. any two vertices from different bipartition classes…

This paper explores the relationship between L-equivalence and D-equivalence for K3 surfaces and hyperk\"ahler manifolds. Building on Efimov's approach using Hodge theory, we prove that very general L-equivalent K3 surfaces are…

We prove that if a simplicial complex is shellable, then the intersection lattice for the corresponding diagonal arrangement is homotopy equivalent to a wedge of spheres. Furthermore, we describe precisely the spheres in the wedge, based on…

A polygon is equable if its area is equal to its perimeter. A pair of polygons is an amicable pair if the area of the first is equal to the perimeter of the second, and vice versa. A polygon is a lattice polygon if its vertices lie on the…

Let g be a finite dimensional semisimple Lie algebra over C and e be a nilpotent element. Elashvili and Kac have recently classified all good Z-gradings for e. We instead consider good R-gradings, which are naturally parameterized by an…

We show how to compute the Ehrhart polynomial of the free sum of two lattice polytopes containing the origin $P$ and $Q$ in terms of the enumerative combinatorics of $P$ and $Q$. This generalizes work of Beck, Jayawant, McAllister, and…
